Description
The rufous-collared thrush (Turdus rufitorques) is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is endemic to highlands of Middle America, south of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, occurring in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Chiapas state in Mexico. Its closest relative is the American robin, and like that species, it is found in varied habitats, from towns to forest. It is, however, restricted to highland areas with at least some trees. It is also known as the rufous-collared robin.

Feeding Habits
Rufous-collared Robin primarily consumes insects and complements its diet with small fruits. It forages for food, exhibits unique dietary adaptations for insect hunting, and has specific feeding behaviors that distinguish it from other species.
Habitat
The rufous-collared Robin typically inhabits pine and pine-oak forests, often frequenting the edges of these woodlands. These birds are also known to venture into nearby grassy clearings and can adapt to human environments, being found in village settings. Their preference for mixed forest environments reflects a broader distribution across temperate highland regions. The presence of rufous-collared Robin in these habitats underlines their adaptability to both natural and modified landscapes.
